1. Overview

This document guides the installation of the software needed to access the TeamPoS3000 XL Cash Drawer and POS Power functionality. The Cash Drawer and POS Power are accessed via the GPIO chip on the motherboard. These devices are not automatically identified by the operating system by “Found New Hardware”.

The process is as follows:

2. Use the “Add Hardware” icon in the “Control Panel” to define the “Fujitsu POS Power Port (COM30)”. This process will need the .INF and .SYS files provided for the POS power.

3. Run the Cash Drawer and POS Power “Setup” program to install the device service that manages access to the TeamPoS3000 XL Cash Drawer and POS Power hardware via COM10 and COM30 virtual com ports.

4. Installing the Cash Drawer and Power I/O Device Driver

The cash drawer and POS Power devices share the system GPIO port. A device driver service needs to be installed that manages shared access to the GPIO. Follow the steps below to install this service.

- Load the device driver that communicates with the COM10 and COM30 virtual ports.

- Use windows explorer to locate and start the “Setup.exe” program provided for the Cash Drawer and Power Supply.

- Select "English (United States)". Note: the alternative option is Japanese.

- The installation is initiated.

- At the Welcome screen, select "Next".

- At the License screen, check "Accept" and click "Next" to proceed.

- The Setup Type screen determines the type of battery backup used. The default type is the smaller, TeamPoS3000 XL Integrated Battery Backup, physically located on the left hand side of the TeamPoS3000 XL chassis. If the Integrated Battery Backup is used, simply click "Next" on this screen to proceed.

- The second POS Power scheme involves the TeamPoS3000 XL Integrated UPS device. This device is a much larger battery and is only available on systems configured with the full-width Standard TeamPoS3000 XL chassis. The UPS is physically located on the right hand side of the Standard TeamPoS3000 XL chassis. If the Integrated UPS Backup is used, check the "Uses the full backup battery" check-box and click "Next" to proceed.
